THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS

Success is the result of hard work, exacting plans with the driving ambition, based on the natural laws which govern all of creation.

Once we understand our true nature and learn to live in harmony with natural law, a sense of well being, good health, fulfilling relationship, energy and enthusiasm for life and material abundance will spring forth easily and effortlessly.

SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS

You are what your deep, driving desire is.

As your desire is, so is your will.

As your will is, so is your deed.

As your deed is, so is your destiny.

Brahadaranyaka Upanishad IV.4.5.

CONCEPET OF THE LAW

Law is the process by which the unmanifest becomes manifestThe observer becomes observedThe seer becomes the sceneryThe Dreamer manifests the dreamAnything and everything that we can perceive through our senses – is the transformation of the unmanifest, unknown and invisible into the manifest, known and visible

CONCEPET OF THE LAW

The source of all creation is divinity –SpiritThe process of creation is divinity in motion – The MindThe object of creation is the physical universe which includes-the physical bodyAll these components of reality emerges from the field of pure potentiality which is purely unmanifestWhen we understand & apply these laws of consciousness in motion in our lives, anything we want can be createdBecause, the same laws that nature uses to create the forest, galaxy, star or human body can also bring about the fulfillment of our deepest desires

UNIVERSAL LAWSGod is the only owner of this entire universeAll living beings are only trustees of his entire universal creationNeither we can produce, add, multiply, subtract, divide or destroy his creationNothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change and goes up and down in the circle of life process.God has set of rules to abide. Shows no mercies, treats everyone with equal vision & balanced mindA man who sees everything as god and god in everything he becomes dear to God. A man who sees work when there is no work and who sees no work when there is lot of work he is dear to god. A man who feels alone in the crowd and feels crowded when he is alone that person becomes dear to god. Even a small offering given to god with unflinching good intention and unflagging energy and dedication with high level of integrity is being accepted and he becomes dear to god.No longer has man realized himself as he is the part and parcel of God, he will always toil in birth trap.

UNIVERSAL LAWSMother Nature has got everything we want in abundance, we only have to pay the price and start enjoying it. Nothing comes free in life. Each soul is potentially divine.The law of giving. The more you give and share the broader you grow in all verticalsThe law of “karma” or cause & effect. Every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause.The law of least effortThe law of intention and desire. What you perceive, conceive you achieveGod becomes ones savior as long as his intention and desire is true to his consciousThe law of detachment. Detach you gain. Attach you loose itThe law of “Dharma” or purpose in life. Where there is weakness, threat and fear there always will be exploitation. Each of his creation has an immense and intrinsic value and has got an assigned mission to accomplish.

The Law of Pure Potentiality or the law of unity.

The source of all creation is pure consciousness……pure potentiality seeking expression from the un-manifest to manifest. And when we realize that our true self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe. The ultimate goal of life is to find this divinity within by controlling the nature both internal and external. A) This can be achieved by getting in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent at least 30minutes in the morning and evening. B) Take time each day to commune with the nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living being and the unbounded creativity. C) Remind yourself saying that I will begin my day with the statement that I shall not judge anything that occurs today.

THE LAW OF GIVING & RECEIVING

In the beginning, there was neither existence nor non existence. All this world was unmanifest energy….The one breathed, without breath by its own power nothing else was there……Hymn of Creation, The Rig Veda.

The universe operates through dynamic exchange. Our body is in dynamic and constant exchange with the body of the universe. Our mind is dynamically interacting with the mind of cosmos.Our energy is an expansion of cosmic energy.The flow of life is nothing other than the harmonious interaction of all the elements and forces that structure the field of existence which operates as law of giving.The intention should always be to create happiness for the giver and receiver, because happiness is life supporting and life sustaining and therefore generates increase.Practicing the law of giving : If you want to be blessed with alll the good things in life learn to silently bless everyone with all the good things in life. Even the thought of giving, the thought of blessing or a simple prayer has the power to affect others.

THE LAW OF GIVING & RECEIVING

Life is the eternal dance of consciousness that expresses itself as the dynamic exchange of impulses of intelligence between microcosm and macrocosm, between the human body and the Universal body between the human mind and the cosmic mind.When we learn to give what we seek, we activate and choreograph the dance with an exquisite, energetic and vital movement that constitute the eternal throb of life.The law of giving can be practiced, whenever we meet someone, we can silently care them by gifting, giving attention, affection, appreciation and love which is more powerful. Silently wish them happiness, joy and laughter.WE lack nothing, because our essential nature is one of pure potentiality and infinite possibilities.

The Law of Karma – Cause & Effect

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind…what we sow is what we reap.And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.The best way to understand and maximize the use of karmic law is to become consciously aware of the choices we make in every moment. Whatever is happening now is a result of the choices that we have made in the past unconsciously. We have become bundles of conditioned reflexes that are constantly being triggered by people and circumstances in to predictable outcomes of behavior. These conditioned reflexes are like Pavlovian conditioning like, if you give a dog something to eat every time you ring a bell, soon the dog starts to salivate when you just ring the bell, because it has an associated stimulus with the other.If we step back for a moment and witness the choices that we are making as we make those choices, then in just thus act of witnessing, we take the whole process from the unconscious realm in to the conscious realm. This procedure of conscious choice making and witness is very empowering.

The Law of Karma – Cause & Effect

We can ask our self two things, when we make any choice. 1) “What are the consequences of this choice that we are making ?” 2) “Will this choice that we are making now bring happiness to us and to those around us?”Our body experiences two kinds of sensations through an interesting mechanism that the universe has to help us when we make a spontaneous correct choices.: one is a sensation of comfort, the other is a sensation of discomfort. At the moment of we consciously make a choice, pay attention to your body and ask your body .”If I make this choice, what happens?”. If the your body sends a message of comfort, that t is the right choice.Only the heart knows the correct answer, which is intuitive, holistic, Contextual and relational taps in to the cosmic computer.

The Law of Karma – Cause & Effect

There are three things we can do about past Karma. 1) Paying to Karmic Debts. Most people choose to do that unconsciously, which involves lot of suffering sometimes.2) Transmute or transform your karma to a more desirable experience, by asking “What can I learn from this experience? Why is this happening? And what is the message that the universe is giving to me? How can I make this experience useful to my fellow human beings?By doing this, a seed of opportunity would emerge and allow you to transmute the karma to a new expression.The third way is to transcend the Karma by becoming independent. This of course is done through the practice of meditation.The operational software of your soul is karma, memory and desire

The Law of Lease Effort

Nature ‘s intelligence functions with effortless ease, with care freeness, harmony and loveAnd when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.Fish do not try to swim, they just swim. Similarly, it is the human nature to make our dreams manifest in to physical form, easily and effortlessly. When we are harmony with nature, we are established in the Law of Least Effort.

The Law of Lease EffortThere are three components to the Law of Least Effort. One: Acceptance ( Do Less & Accomplish More). Acceptance simply means that you make a commitment: “Today I will accept people, situations. Circumstances and events as they occur”.Two: Responsibility. Means the ability to have a creative response to the situation as it is now. All problems contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it to a better situation or thing.Three: Defenselessness: Means that your awareness is established in defenselessness and you have relinquished the need to convince or persuade other of your point of view.

The Law of Intention and Desire

Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for it fulfillment…Intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power.And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.The Hymn of Creation in Rig Veda says: In the beginning, there was desire, which was the first seed of mind: Sages, having mediated in their hearts, have discovered by their wisdom the connection of the existent with the no-existent.This law is based on the fact that energy and information exist everywhere in the nature.The quantum field is just another label for the field of pure consciousness or pure potentiality.Your body is not separate from the body of the universe. You are like a wiggle, a wave, a fluctuation, a convolution, a whirl pool, a localized disturbance in the larger quantum filed. The larger quantum filed-the universe -is your extended body.

The Law of Intention and DesireYou can consciously change the energy and informational content of your own quantum mechanical body, and therefore influence the energy and informational content of your extended body-your environment, your world- and cause things to manifest in it.The conscious change is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: 1) Attention 2) IntentionAttention energizes and whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life.Intention transforms and on the other hand, triggers transformation of energy and information and organizes its own fulfillment.The quality of intention on the object of attention will orchestrate an infinity of space-time events to bring about the outcome intended, provided one follows the other spiritual laws of success. In the scheme of nature, everything correlates and connect with everything else.A single cell in the human body is doing about six million things per second is the good example of this symphony.

The Law of Intention and Desire Learn to harness the power of intention, and you can create anything you desire.Make a list of all your desires. Carry it with you wherever you go whatever be the time.Release your list of desires and surrender it to the womb of creation with full faith and trust.Practice present moment awareness in all your actions and manifest the future through your deepest, most cherished intentions and desires. You must accept the present as is with full attention without struggling and intent for the future.It is the potentiality for space, time, matter and energy. It is an eternal field of possibilities experiencing itself as abstract forces, whether they be light, heat, electricity, magnetism or gravity. These forces are neither in the past nor in the future, they just are.

The Law of DetachmentIn detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty…in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning.And in our willingness to step into the unknown the field of full possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.Mundaka Upanishd says: Lime two golden birds perched on the selfsame tree, intimate friends, the ego and the Self dwell in the same body. The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of the tree of life, while the latter looks on in detachment.The law of detachment says that in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it.This does not mean you have to give your intention and desire but give up your attachment to the result.The moment you relinquish your attachment to the result, combining one pointed intention with detachment at the same time, you will have that which you desire.Anything you want can be acquired through detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true self.The source of wealth, abundance, or of anything in the physical world is the self: It is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need. Everything else is a symbol.

The Law of DetachmentComforts are symbols which are transitory, they come and go. Chasing symbols is like settling for the map instead of the territory. It creates anxiety; It ends up making you feel hollow and empty inside, because you exchange your self for the symbols of your self.Only from detached involvement can one have joy and laughter.True wealth consciousness is the ability to have anything you want, anytime you want, and with the least effort.To be grounded in this experience you have to be grounded in the wisdom of uncertainty. In this uncertainty you will find the freedom to create anything you want.In ancient wisdom traditions, the solution to the illusive search for security and certainty lies in the wisdom of insecurity and uncertainty, which is actually an attachment to the known.And the known is our imprisoned and conditioned past. And the unknown or the uncertainty on the other hand is the fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom.

The Law of DetachmentRelinquish your attachment to the known, step in to the unknown and you will step into the filed of all possibilities.In your willingness to step into the unknown, you will have the wisdom of uncertainty factored in. This mean that in every moment of your life, you will have excitement, adventure, mystery.You will experience the fun of life-the magic, the celebration, the exhilaration and the exultation of your own spirit.When you put your attention on the uncertainty while you expectantly wait for the solution to emerge out of the chaos and confusion, then what emerges is something very fabulous and exciting.This state of alertness and preparedness in the present allows you to seize the opportunity, the seed, that contained within every problem that you have in your life.You can look at every problem you have in your life as an opportunity for some greater benefit.When your preparedness meets opportunity, the solution will spontaneously appear in the form of Good Luck which is nothing but preparedness and opportunity coming together.

The Law of “Dharma” or Purpose in LifeEveryone has purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others.And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.Khalil Gibran in his Book Prophet says: When you work you are a flute through whose hear the whispering of the hours turns to music. And what is to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.The law of Dharma says that we have taken manifestation in physical form to fulfill a purposeWhen your special and creative expression of talent is matched with the unique needs, that is the spark that creates affluence and creates unlimited wealth and abundance.There are three components of Law of Dharma: 1) Each of us is here to discover our true and higher self which is beyond ego, through spiritual practice. We must find out for our self that inside us is a god or goddess in embryo that wants to be born so that we can express our divinity.2) Express our Unique Talents. This expression of talent takes us into timeless awareness which is certainly will make you happy and joyful.3) Service to Humanity. Ask yourself “How can I help all those that I come into contact with? And put it into practice. When you combine the ability to express your unique talent with service to humanity, then you make full use of the Law of Dharma.

CONCLUSIONWe are travelers on a cosmic journey-star dust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity.Life is eternal, but the expressions of life are ephemeral, momentary transient.Gautama Buddha says: The existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To which the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movement of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, rushing by like a torrent down a steep mountain.If we share with caring, light heartedness and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other
